Well I woke up this mornin, looked outdoors
I can tell my milk cow, I can tell by the way she lows
If you see my milk cow, please drive her on home
cause I aint had no milk and butter since that cows been gone
Well you gotta treat me right honey day by day
Get out your little prayer book, get down upon your knees and pray
cause youre gonna need me, youre gonna need my help someday
Lord youre gonna be sorry, oh, you treated me this a way
Aw, now take it away boys
Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
Youre gonna keep right on sailing till you lose your happy home
Well good evening, dont that sun look good going down
I said well good evening, dont that sun look good going down
Dont that ol army cot look lonely when your lover aint no place around
Well I tried everything baby to get along with you
Now Im gonna tell you what Im gonna do
Im gonna stop my crying, gonna leave you alone
And if you dont think Im leavin big momma
Just count the days Im gone
You aint gonna see me, you aint gonna see my sweet face no more
Lord you gonna be wondering honey where in this world Ive gone
